About the Dublin and Wicklow Mountains

 

Just over an hour’s drive from the hustle and bustle of Dublin lies the stunning Wicklow Mountains National Park. The range covers much of the picturesque County Wicklow on Ireland’s east coast, altogether totalling an area of just under 50,000 acres. Among the vast area are a number of locations worth visiting including the Lugnaquilla, Liffet Head Bog complexes as well as the historic Glendalough Wood Nature Reserve. Visitors will be sure to experience a variety of Irish wildlife, from deer to Peregrine Falcons.

sugarloaf wicklowThe long winding mountainous roads prove a treat for any driver heading to Wicklow. Fast flowing streams zig-zag throughout the landscape, providing a number of opportunities for keen fishermen. The lakes at the bottom of the beautifully wooded valleys welcome the speeding steams and are an ideal place to crack open the picnic hamper.

With over one million visitors travelling from the Dublin to the National Park each year, there could be a worry for some about possible overcrowding but the vast open vistas in Wicklow make it seem as though there is nobody else there. There is an array of accommodation available Dublin hotels are just over an hour away, many visitors to the Irish capital are tempted to spend some of their time in Wicklow’s magnificent scenery.

The Glendalough Valley has always been a must-see for people visiting the area, with the ancient monastic settlement of St. Kevin. While there are usually a fair number of tourists around in the summer, visiting out of season is often an option for those seeking some quality Irish tranquillity away from the coach-load of our American brethren. Even when the National Park is at its busiest, it is still just a short walk into the mountains for a seemingly different world altogether.

Those wanting to enjoy some activities for their groups or individually will be spoilt for choice with the complimentary services available, from field trips, nature walks, lectures as well as a number of worthwhile workshops. With these options available, it makes Wicklow a great resort for the whole family as well as being ideal for just Mum and Dad.
